Events

Match Events

  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against United States and Wales has kicked off!
  • 5' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Wales needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 10' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 11' The referee shows United States player a Yellow card on 11.
  • 13' United States player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 18' The travelling Wales supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 23' It looks like no one’s ball. Wales is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 28' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Wales that had 152 games and scored 14 goals.
  • 33' It looks surprising Wales does not make any changes. Tim Weah has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 36' Tim Weah puts United States on the lead.
  • 40' Gareth Bale was booked on 40.
  • 45' Wales player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 46' Kieffer Moore is replacing Daniel James for the Wales side.
  • 51' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Tim Ream.
  • 56' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Connor Roberts suffering a number of foals already.
  • 61' Wales is showing some good football. However, Wales are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 66' Time for substitution for United States. Weston McKennie is replaced by Brenden Aaronson.
  • 71' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 74' The United States manager makes a substitution. Sergino Dest departs to be replaced by DeAndre Yedlin.
  • 79' Time for substitution for Wales. Neco Williams is replaced by Brennan Johnson.
  • 82' GOAL! Gareth Bale scores on 82.
  • 87' It’s high time Robert Page made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 88' The whistle greets Tim Weah as he departs to be replaced by Jordan Morris.
  • 90' The whistle greets Harry Wilson as he departs to be replaced by Sorba Thomas.
  • 90' Kellyn Acosta is having his name booked by the referee on 90.
  • The final whistle. It looks like we are having a draw.
